Just an update for those who remember Bob (Bandido1). I received an email today from " Parkinsons Creative Collective, Inc." The book He was involved with before His passing will be publishing within the next few months. (I received the email as They are using some of my material in the book also and needed my release). Bob stopped actively posting on the forum so he could devote more time on this book. It was very important to Him and I'm sure He would want You, His friends to know it has finally come to completion.

"The NeuroWriters Guide to the Peripatetic Pursuit of Parkinson Disease

For those with PD, it's a support group between two covers, and for everyone else, it's a window into the world of living with PD."

They have received grants to distribute one free copy to support groups in the US and Net proceeds from the book will be reinvested in the next printing of the book and other PD education and advocacy efforts.

When I hear anymore on this I'll post so anyone interested can keep up to date.

Let me know too Al...Even though we couldn't sell it... I will put a link on our website to the book.....Bob's wisdom is sorely missed and I too, like mylove, would love to have a copy just because he was involved......

The book is out! I recieved My copy today (As one of the 130 authors/artists contributing to the book) It's discribed as "a comprehensive beautiful encyclopedia for PD it draws readers in . It's ritten by patients point of view because We are cernainly the experts at living with PD." some snippets from the review by Jon Stamford, PhD,PWP, co-founder of Parkinson's Movement, UK;

"This is a masterpiece, pure and simple. This is a book that will change your perspective on PP forever"

"The book is lso accessible, Individual sections are short and punchy. Personal testimonies abound, providing intimacy and a human scale to the neurobiology. Everything is here--from reactions to diagnosis through to the ethics of sham surgery in clinical trials. And all points in between"

"You may not know it yet but this book is what you have been waiting for!"
